You took my happiness, smiles and joy
What you couldn’t take, you simply destroyed
But you took something above everything else
You took me from the living, you took me from myself
You took my dignity, squeezed my soul from my pores
You closed my heart and burned all open doors
I’ve looked and I’ve looked! I just can’t find myself
People turn deaf ears to all my cries for help
You took the future and stabbed me in the eyes
You made me watch the flame of hope flicker out and die
But the flame still smolders under my tears and broken dreams
Because I’ve learned through what I lost that nothing’s what it seems.
You’ve done something more than evil, blackened through and through
You’ve taken my ability to see what’s not and what is true
I really need to find myself and know just who I am
I don’t want to wonder if I will get me back again
People on the outside don’t know what’s going on within
I’m hanging from my fingernails from straws that are too thin
You have made a difference but you couldn’t leave a mark
You have taken everything. There’s nothing left to scar.
